Master of Applied Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering

The Master of Applied Science (MASc) and Master of Engineering (MEng) programs in Electrical and Computer Engineering allow a student to study in all major areas associated with electrical, computer and software systems engineering. These areas include electronics, intelligent systems, communications, control, biomedical, power electronics, power generation, software engineering, mobile systems and embedded software systems. These disciplines are expected to be in high demand by employers.

The objective of the MASc program in Electrical and Computer Engineering is to prepare students for careers in research, development and advanced engineering in disciplines involving electrical and computer engineering. Graduates of the program will be able to work as engineers in research and development or other areas in advanced technology companies or government agencies, or to continue their education and pursue a PhD degree. The objectives of the MASc program are achieved through a combination of course work, supervised research, a research seminar and a research thesis.

Students in the MASc program can specialize in one of the following four fields:

• Communications and Signal Processing
• Control Systems
• Power Systems and Power Electronics
• Software Systems
